CBI chargesheets four Chinese behind Rs 1,000-cr cyber crime racket; 111 shell companies unmasked
NEW DELHI: The CBI has filed a chargesheet against 17 people, including four Chinese nationals, and 58 companies for their alleged roles in a transnational cyber fraud network that siphoned off over Rs 1,000 crore through a sprawling web of shell entities and digital scams, officials said on Sunday. After busting the racket in October, investigators unravelled a single, tightly coordinated syndicate that relied on an elaborate digital and financial infrastructure to run a range of frauds. These included misleading loan applications, fake investment schemes, Ponzi and multi-level marketing models, bogus part-time job offers and fraudulent online gaming platforms. According to the probe agency's final report, the group layered the flow of illicit funds through 111 shell companies, routing about Rs 1,000 crore via mule accounts. One account received more than Rs 152 crore in a short span. The shell companies, the CBI said, were incorporated using dummy directors, forged or misleading documents, fake addresses and false statements of business objectives. These shell entities were used to open bank accounts and merchant accounts with various payment gateways, enabling rapid layering and diversion of proceeds of crime, a CBI spokesperson said in a statement. Investigators traced the origins of the scam to 2020, when the country was grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic. The shell companies were allegedly incorporated at the direction of four Chinese handlers -- Zou Yi, Huan Liu, Weijian Liu, and Guanhua Wang. Their Indian associates procured identity documents from unsuspecting individuals, which were then used to establish the network of shell companies and mule accounts to launder proceeds from the scams and obscure the money trail. CBI, FBI dismantles transnational cyber crime network in Noida, six arrested The investigation exposed communication links and operational control that, the agency said, nailed the role of Chinese masterminds running the fraud network from abroad. Significantly, a UPI ID linked to the bank accounts of two Indian accused was found to be active in a foreign location as late as August 2025, conclusively establishing continued foreign control and real-time operational oversight of the fraud infrastructure from outside India, the CBI statement said. The probe found that the racketeers employed a highly layered, technology-driven modus operandi, using Google advertisements, bulk SMS campaigns, SIM-box-based messaging systems, cloud infrastructure, fintech platforms and multiple mule bank accounts. Each stage of the operation -- from luring victims to collection and movement of funds -- was deliberately structured to conceal the identities of the actual controllers and evade detection by law enforcement agencies, the spokesperson said. The chargesheet names 17 individuals, including the four Chinese nationals, and 58 companies. The investigation was launched on the inputs from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, which flagged large-scale cheating of citizens through online investment and employment schemes, resulting in the arrest of three individuals in October. Though initially appearing as isolated complaints, detailed analysis by CBI revealed striking similarities in applications used, fund-flow patterns, payment gateways and digital footprints, pointing towards a common organised conspiracy, the agency said. Following the October arrests, the CBI conducted searches at 27 locations across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and Haryana, seizing digital devices, documents and financial records that were later subjected to detailed forensic examination.

Govt schools suffer despite ministers assurances
BENGALURU: Even as Minister for School Education and Literacy Madhu Bangarappa said on the floor of the house that no government schools will be closed, two schools, Government Higher Primary School in Chananke Gowdana Doddi and Government Lower Primary School at Moggenahalli Doddi in Chennapatna taluk have stopped functioning. Shambu Gowda, a School Development and Monitoring Committe (SDMC) member working in Chennapatna taluk who has been fighting against shutting down government schools since 2003, said, Chananke Gowdana Doddi Village school had only two kids and one teacher and Moggenahaalli Doddi school had five students and one teacher. The department officials gave this as a reason and forcefully sent the children and teachers to Honganuru KPS school a few days ago. Both the schools were more than 60 years old. However, in opposition to the governments decision, five schools including Government Lower Primary School, Hosahalli, Higher Primary Schools in Kannidoddi, Ammalli Doddi, Sante Mogenahalli and Lower Primary school in Sunna Ghatta, have continued to work. As per records, there are 77, 82, 31, 100 and 80 children in these schools respectively. T Manjunath, a resident of Sante Mogenahalli, said, Our school children will remain with our school. Students here come from extremely poor backgrounds and they cannot afford to pay school fees or van fees. In the last academic year, 40 children from our village, Sante Mogenahalli joined Karnataka Public School in Honganuru. However, do not have any school bus facility. The minister has said that they would provide free bus facility to these children to travel to KPS schools. A person who owns a van in our village drop these kids to the schools and he charges Rs 800 per month for these students. He added, In order to attract new students from government school to their KPS school, the school management of KPS Honganuru school have started providing van services only to new students. The government has already released an order to close down five of our government schools and move these kids to KPS school but we will let the school function. He reminded how the Higher Primary School in Sante Mogengalli suffered damage due to heavy rains in 2022 and the school functioned in a temple for the rest of the academic year. Manjunath asked, After writing to various political leaders frequently, we got a grant of Rs 50 lakh through which a new building of the school was constructed and it is running smoothly now. We have classes from 1 to 7 and have sufficient water and toilet facilities. The midday meals are also provided and as villagers, we have always looked for ways to improve our school.
Rural women better employed than urban: Study
BENGALURU: Karnatakas rural women are better employed in comparison to those in urban areas and men in both areas proportionately, said a report from the Reserve Bank of India. The report, Handbook of Statistics on Indian States 2024-25, released on Friday, said the unemployment rate of women in rural areas was nine per 1,000 in 202324 and 13 in 202223. The unemployment ratio of men in the same periods were 25 and 17, respectively. The overall unemployment rate in Karnatakas rural area was recorded as 19 during 202324, and 15 during 202223. This is lower than the national average of 25 and 24, respectively. In the case of urban areas, the unemployment rate of women during 202324 was 44 and during 202223, it was 51. The RBI report also noted that the urban male unemployment rate in 202324 fiscal was 41 and in 202223, it was 38. The overall unemployment rate in urban areas in 202324 and in 202223 it was 42. The all India unemployment rate in 202324 was 51 and in 202223, it was 54. A finance expert in the state government said, There is unemployment in Karnataka. But compared to other states and India, it is less. The rise in rural womens employment rate is a positive indication, but worrisome when the urban statistics are noted. The overall rural unemployment rates in Goa, Madhya Pradesh and even Jharkhand are even lower. Karnataka also ranked fourth in the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) size. The report said Karnatakas GSDP (at current prices) for the year 202425 was Rs 28,83,903.23 crore. In 202324, it was Rs 25,57,241.35 crore. The state ranks second in the overall GSDP growth with 12.8% for the fiscal 202425, after Tamil Nadu (16%). Uttar Pradesh is slightly behind Karnataka with 12.7%, and Maharashtra trails with 11.7%. The GSDP growth rate of Gujarat is recorded as 10.2%. An official in the finance department, seeking anonymity, said, while other states fared better under the overall urban employment category, Karnatakas population should also be accounted for. The reason for the drop in male employment in rural areas also needs to be studied, the official said. FKCCI chairperson Uma Reddy said womens employment in rural areas increased because of the agricultural sector and self employment. The rural entrepreneurship training programmes also appear to be beneficial. In the case of urban areas, a larger push for the women workforce is needed to control the attrition rate. Reddy said the overall unemployment rate of the state is worrying. The report is only till 202324. But an analysis of 202425 and 202526 is needed for a clearer picture. The reasons cannot be fully ascertained yet, but some indicators include technological interventions, drop in investments and the tariff issue, she said.

Stir over govt plan on constituent colleges
BENGALURU: Following the proposal of the education department and directives to Bengaluru City University to make Ramnarayan Chellaram College of Commerce and Management and Government Arts and Science college as constituent colleges of the university, students along with the members of All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) protested at Freedom Park on Friday. Addressing the students, Subhash Bettadakoppa, treasurer, AIDSO Karnataka, said, Both the state government and the education minister should immediately give up on this decision. Just 6 months ago, due to our movement, the decision to convert them into constituent colleges was withdrawn. But now, taking up this decision again after announcing the exams is like stabbing the students back. Citing the example of Yuvaraja College in Mysuru, he said when it was made a constituent college under Mysuru University, its fee increased to Rs 12,000 and Rs 38,000. Whereas the fee in other government colleges in Mysuru is Rs 3,000. This is another scheme to rob the poor students, and the government should be ashamed of this. This decision must be withdrawn immediately, or else students will have to intensify the protest. Nawaz, secretariat member of AIDSO Bengaluru District Committee, said, Students struggled without guest lecturers, classes were not conducted for two months, and now when the exams are announced, this sudden decision of making RC College and Govt Arts College into constituent colleges is highly undemocratic and condemnable. These being government colleges, children of farmers and labourers come to study here. So many students go for part-time jobs to pay their college fees. In such a situation, converting them into constituent colleges is intolerable as the fee for every course will be increased.
